I don't get it. I just don't. This writer only has one idea, star-crossed lovers and that's it. Every show I've seen from her has been very similar and frankly, very cheesy and overdramatic. To be honest, this didn't start off badly, I liked the characters and it just felt like it would be a fun show. Well, I was wrong. The amount of ridiculousness that happened is just shocking to me. Soooooo much unnecessary drama in the last part of the show, I was rolling my eyes in almost every scene. Some scenes that were supposed to be sad were so cheesy and ridiculous that they made me laugh. I'm sad that this was so bad because I really liked the leads but I don't think I felt their love as much as I was supposed to. They just kept staring at each other for some reason and I don't know about most people, but if I'm madly in love with someone I don't wanna just stare at them, I also wanna touch them and hug them if I haven't seen them in a long time or if I think I'm never gonna see them ever again. The second leads were lacklustre to me. Their story didn't feel believable and I just didn't really feel the chemistry + that whole drama at the end. Yawn. I think me and this writer just don't mesh. I hated You Who Came from the Stars and I had pretty much the same feelings about it as I do about Crash Landing on You. The main plot is literally almost the same in both dramas and also in the writer's other drama, Legend of the Blue Sea, which oddly enough I enjoyed more than the other two.

Went out on a whimper

This one started off so well and it had so much potential. Then for some reason the writers decided they wanted it to become a melodrama so we had like 3 episodes of unnecessary drama instead of getting actual rom-com moments. The final episode felt too rushed, especially since episode 11 felt like a waste of time. I'm really disappointed because I really liked the cast and story and in the beginning I was so excited because I thought this would end up being a great rom-com drama, but I should have known better than to trust kdrama writers. They inserted the same old tropes that I am sick of and yeah, annoying. Disappointing. I still enjoyed it up until like ep 7-8? But after that, it just got worse and worse and by the final episode it was too late to salvage it.

I was so stupid to postpone watching this for so long! I absolutely loved it. Amazing story with some amazing characters. While the main characters were good, the supporting characters stood out and they stole the show in my opinion. I had one single issue with a character whose redemption came too quickly imo, but other than that, it was a great show with amazing stories that sometimes made me happy and sometimes broke my heart. I would have also loved to see more life after prison for some characters, but I was still satisfied with the ending. Overall, this is a must watch.

I don't think I've ever seen a drama where the characters cry so much. Ever. Every episode is filled with misery and crying and it got old pretty fast. It was boring and way too dramatic. The actors were fine I guess, but nothing special since all they had to do was cry a lot. It felt like every character was hit by tragedy and they couldn't escape it. I get it, people like dramatic shit, but this is on another level. The thing is that I never felt like crying cause I didn't really feel like I could connect with the characters or the story so every time they cried I was just so over it cause it seemed so fake and trite. Yup, not for me.

What a drag

I am baffled by the way this story was told. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to buy this main couple when their interactions were mostly just them staring sadly at each other and sighing with the occasional wrist grabbing. There was so much potential here, but this story dragged so much. Endless scenes of no dialogue or dialogue that the characters took ages to utter. I have liked both main actors in other dramas and think they could have done much better with a better script. There was some chemistry there, but it was completely wasted and I actually bought the secondary couple a lot more than the main one. They actually enjoyed each other's presence and had fun together instead of just moping and being sad together. This should have been a lot shorter than it was or 16 episodes, but with a much better script and interactions between the main characters. Very disappointed in this.

My favourite drama ever probably

I love this drama. I love the setting, the characters, the story and just everything really. I do get the complaints about Ji-ho in the last few eps, I really get it, I didn't like it either. However, I love the rest so much that I can just ignore it and forget it ever happened lol. The couple from this show is probably my favourite drama couple ever, I loved how they talked and interacted with each other, ugh I just loved everything about this drama. The secondary characters were also solid and entertaining and I really liked them. Everything was just perfect to me. 10/10.
